It was being debated on 5Live one morning this week and I couldn’t believe the air-time it was receiving.
Firstly, it was a silly and inappropriate thing to say for someone in the media spotlight but, it was not a “threat” as some were trying to make out, it was clearly made in jest, the lady journalist to whom the comment was directed didn’t complain or take offence and later accepted Moyes’ apology.
Interestingly, the journalist involved was not included in the debate which, given it was a BBC program and she a BBC employee, speaks volumes. No doubt the BBC wishing to protect itself from a charge of double-standards should she have dared to make light of the issue.
